Description

  The present invention relates to a prize opening unit and a gaming machine, and more particularly to a prize opening unit having an adjustment unit for adjusting a winning rate of a game medium to a prize opening.

  In a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, a bullet ball (game medium) flows down on the game board surface as a game apparatus body, and in the process of flowing down, the ball is a gauge (also referred to as a nail) on the game board surface. It turns while colliding with the impeller and the flow direction changes. As a result, if a ball wins at various winning holes arranged on the surface of the game board, a predetermined prize ball is paid out. On the other hand, if a ball flows into the out port without winning any prize hole, no prize ball is paid out. . The player enjoys the game by demonstrating his / her skill in the ball or using the chance of the ball flowing down and expecting to win a prize and give away a prize ball.

  Some game machines in recent years constitute a so-called “hit” game that allows a player to acquire a large amount of prize balls in order to improve interest. For example, a symbol display device is provided on the game board surface, and symbols such as numbers and characters are displayed on the display screen. Then, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the variation of the symbol (hereinafter referred to as symbol variation) is started, and the “winning” game is started when the stop display becomes a specific mode.

  On the game board surface, a large winning opening having an opening / closing door that can be opened and closed in front and rear is arranged so that the opening / closing door is opened when a “winning” game is achieved. While the open / close door is in the open state, the ball is likely to win the big prize opening. In the “hit” game, when the door is opened, a large amount of balls are received at the big prize opening and a large amount of prize balls are paid out.

  Here, if the winning rate of the ball to the big prize opening during the “winning” game (the ratio of the balls that flow down the gaming area to the big prize opening) is too high, the payout of premium balls will increase. If too much gaming machine hall suffers, or if the winning rate is too low, the payout of prize balls may be too small despite the “winning” game, and the player may suffer disadvantage. That is, it is preferable that the winning rate of the ball to the big winning opening is appropriate so that both the gaming machine hall and the player are not disadvantaged.

  Therefore, a nail for adjusting the winning rate of the ball to the big prize opening is driven in the vicinity of the big prize opening. The ball that flows down to the grand prize opening collides with the nail, the direction of the flow changes, and some things are blocked from winning the big prize opening. The winning rate of the ball to is adjusted.

  As an example of the case where the nail is erected in the vicinity of the big winning opening in this way, there is one described in Patent Document 1, for example.

JP 2007-260335 A

  In recent years, in order to further improve the interest and attract the player's interest, in addition to ingenuity in the game aspect such as "winning" game, various ingenuity has also been made Yes. For example, the decorativeness of a gaming machine is improved by drawing a design or a pattern on the gaming board surface or covering a part of the gaming board surface with a synthetic resin member, a plating member, or the like.

  However, since it is difficult to drive nails into synthetic resin and plated members, it is necessary to place synthetic resins and plated members avoiding nails for adjusting the winning rate, and to enhance the decorativeness as expected There is a problem that can not be. Also, when arranging other winning openings, impellers, etc., it is necessary to avoid the nails for adjusting the winning rate, and the degree of freedom in designing the game board surface is low.

  The standing angle of the nail with respect to the game board surface may vary depending on the driving strength and the driving angle. If variations in the standing angle of the nail occur for each gaming machine, the method of rebounding the ball that collided with the nail also varies for each gaming machine. If it does so, the winning rate of the ball to the big winning opening varies for each gaming machine, and there is a problem that some gaming machines cannot provide a game with an appropriate winning rate.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to improve the decorativeness of the gaming machine by eliminating the need for nails for adjusting the winning rate to the winning opening, and to increase the design flexibility of the gaming board surface. An example of the present invention is to provide a prize opening unit that can increase the number of prizes and suppress a variation in the winning percentage for each gaming machine and realize a game with an appropriate winning percentage.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a prize opening unit as an exemplary aspect of the present invention includes a prize winning unit configured to have a door portion that can be opened and closed in a game area that realizes a game by flowing down game media. An auxiliary plate that is arranged in front of the mouth and assists the winning of the game medium to the winning opening, a base portion that covers the periphery of the winning opening in the game area, and is arranged between the base portion and the auxiliary plate, and from the winning opening An adjusting unit that has an inclined surface that is inclined downwardly toward the side away from the game area, guides the game medium flowing down the game area in a direction away from the winning opening, and adjusts the winning rate of the gaming medium to the winning opening; Have

  A part of the game media flowing down on the game board surface toward the prize opening is in contact with or colliding with the inclined surface of the adjusting unit, so that it rolls or rebounds on the inclined surface in a direction away from the prize opening. Be guided. Therefore, the winning rate of the game medium to the winning opening can be adjusted by blocking the winning of a part of the gaming medium flowing toward the winning opening by the inclined surface.

  Since the winning rate of the game medium to the winning opening can be adjusted by the adjusting unit, a nail for adjusting the winning rate becomes unnecessary. Therefore, it is possible to freely arrange the resin member etc. at the position where the nail for adjusting the winning rate has been conventionally arranged, and it is possible to further enhance the decorativeness of the game board surface, Impellers and the like need not be arranged avoiding nails for adjusting the winning rate, and the degree of freedom in designing the game board surface is improved.

  In addition, the periphery of the winning opening can be decorated with a base portion covering the surroundings of the winning opening. The base portion may be formed large so as to cover the space where the nail for adjusting the winning rate has been driven, and the base portion may be a resin member that is difficult to nail. Therefore, the decorativeness of the gaming machine can be further enhanced by shaping the resin member that is formed large or plating the surface thereof.

  In addition, a ball, a coin, etc. can be considered as a game medium, for example, in a pachinko game, it means a pachinko ball.

  Further, the auxiliary plate is a plate-like plate member disposed in front of the winning opening, and guides the game medium flowing between the winning opening and the auxiliary plate near the auxiliary plate toward the winning opening, It has a function of assisting the winning of a game medium in a winning opening.

  In the present application, the direction from the gaming machine to the player is “front”, and the front side is “front”. Conversely, the direction from the player to the gaming machine is “rear”, and the surface facing backward is the “rear surface”. Further, “left and right” means “left and right” as viewed from a player who plays with a gaming machine.

  The auxiliary plate and the adjustment unit may be integrally formed. Since the auxiliary plate and the adjusting portion are integrally formed, the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine can be reduced by reducing the number of parts and the mounting process.

  Moreover, since the auxiliary plate and the adjustment part are integrally formed, the inclination angle of the inclined surface formed in the adjustment part is determined by assembling the integrally formed member. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the variation in the inclination angle of the inclined surface as compared with the nail in which the standing angle easily varies depending on the driving strength and the driving angle. Since variation in the inclination angle of the inclined surface can be suppressed, variation in the winning rate of the ball to the winning opening for each gaming machine can be suppressed, and a safe game with an appropriate winning rate is provided to the player. can do.

  In addition, since the base portion, the adjustment portion, and the auxiliary plate can be assembled in advance as a prize opening unit and then attached to the game board surface, workability in the manufacturing process of the gaming machine can be improved.

  A game board unit according to still another exemplary aspect of the present invention includes a game board having a game area formed on a front surface thereof, and a winning slot unit, and an internal view so that the game board unit is visible. And a front transparent plate disposed at a certain distance or more away from the game board unit. Since the game board unit has a winning opening unit having an adjustment unit for adjusting the winning rate of the game medium to the winning opening, it is not necessary to drive a nail for adjusting the winning rate to the winning opening. . Therefore, this game board unit can exhibit high decorativeness by the decoration etc. by the base part of the prize opening unit.

  Since this gaming machine has a highly decorative gaming board unit, it can be an attractive gaming machine that attracts the attention of the player. Further, if the auxiliary plate and the adjusting portion are integrally formed, variation in the winning rate at the winning opening for each gaming machine can be suppressed, and a game with a sense of security can be provided to the player. .

  Further objects and other features of the present invention will become apparent from the preferred embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  By eliminating the need for nail placement to adjust the winning rate to the winning opening with the adjustment part having an inclined surface, it becomes possible to place free decorations and winning openings that are not confined to the placement of the nail. It is possible to enhance the decorativeness of the game and the degree of freedom in designing the game board surface.

  In addition, by integrating the auxiliary plate and the adjustment unit, it is possible to realize a game with a sense of security at an appropriate winning rate by suppressing variation in the winning rate of the game medium to the winning opening for each gaming machine.

[Embodiment]
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an appearance of a pachinko machine 2 as a gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. The pachinko machine 2 has a frame 3, a game board unit (game device body) 6, a front glass (front transparent plate) 10, a decorative frame 12, an upper plate (ball tray) 14, and a launch unit (not shown). is doing.

  In addition to the pachinko machine 2, the gaming machine can be an arcade machine such as a parrot machine or a coin game machine, and various game machines. In short, any game having a game area that realizes a game by the flow of game media. Machine included. In addition, in the pachinko machine, any pachinko machine such as a combination pachinko machine such as an arrangement ball machine or a sparrow ball machine, a premium ball payout pachinko machine such as a so-called seven machine can be conceptualized. A ball payout type so-called seven machine will be described as an example.

  The frame 3 of the pachinko machine 2 is for holding the game board unit 6 so as to be visible, and is configured in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view using wood, resin, metal or the like as a material. Surrounds the back. In addition to the game board unit 6, various mechanical components such as various electronic boards and paths for game media are arranged inside the frame body 3, and the frame body 3 allows the pachinko machine from the peripheral side surface or the peripheral side surface and the rear surface. 2 Unauthorized access to the inside is prevented.

  For example, the casing frame 4 that is arranged at the rearmost and surrounds the pachinko machine 2 and is swingably supported by a hinge portion (swinging support portion) 18 so as to be openable and closable in front of the housing frame 4 so that it can be visually recognized by the player. And a machine frame 8 that holds the game board unit 6.

  FIG. 2 is a front view showing the appearance of the game board unit 6. The game board unit 6 is for realizing a game by the flow of the ball 20 as a game medium in the pachinko machine 2. The game board 6 a, the start winning tool 28, the right attacker unit (large winning mouth unit) 30 The image display device 32 and the out port 34 are generally configured.

  A game area 6b is formed on the surface of the game board 6a. A rail ornament 22 is attached to the game board 6 a so as to surround the substantially circular shape, and the game area 6 b is surrounded by an inner side surface 22 a formed inside the rail ornament 22.

  A large number of gauges (also referred to as nails, not shown), a start winning tool 28, a right attacker unit 30, an image display device 32, and the like are arranged in the game area 6b, and an out port 34 is formed at the lower end of the game area 6b. Has been. Since it is necessary to drive a large number of nails into the game board 6a, a wood material such as a plywood board is often used for the game board 6a as a material relatively easy to drive nails.

  The start winning tool 28 is arranged in the lower center part of the game area 6b. The start winning tool 28 is for constituting a start winning opening 28a through which the ball 20 flowing down the game area 6b can win. When the ball 20 wins the start winning opening 28a, a “win” lottery is performed by a game control board (not shown). Further, even when the balls 20 win the start winning opening 28a, a predetermined number of balls 20 are paid out as a prize.

  FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the right attacker unit 30. The right attacker unit 30 is disposed on the right side of the start winning tool 28, and includes a base plate (base portion) 36, a light source substrate 40, and a front cover (game medium guiding unit) 42.

  The base plate 36 is a flat resin member, and has a function as an attachment substrate for fixing screws when attaching the right attacker unit 30 to the game board 6a.

  The base plate 36 is formed with a right large prize winning opening (winning prize opening) 30a that is opened in a laterally substantially rectangular shape on the left and right. The base plate 36 is plated, and also has a function as a decorative member that covers the periphery of the right big prize opening 30a in the game area 6b and decorates the surrounding area of the right big prize opening 30a.

  The right big prize opening 30a has a right opening / closing door (door part) 38 that can be opened and closed in the front-rear direction. 4A is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the right opening / closing door 38 of the right attacker unit 30 is closed, and FIG. 4B is a crossing showing a state where the right opening / closing door 38 of the right attacker unit 30 is opened. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, in a state where the open / close door 38 is closed, the ball 20 passes through the right big prize opening 30a without winning even if it flows down the front face of the right big prize opening 30a. However, as shown in FIG. 4B, in a state where the open / close door 38 is opened, the ball 20 flowing down the front of the right big prize opening 30a is guided by the opened open / close door 38 and wins the right big prize opening 30a. Can be done.

  When the ball 20 wins the right big prize opening 30a, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out from a prize ball payout device (not shown). During the opening of the right open / close door 38, most of the balls 20 flowing down in front of the right opening door 38 can win the right big prize opening 30a, so that many balls 20 win the right big prize opening 30a and a lot of prize balls. A payout is made. The right opening / closing door 38 is closed during normal games, and the ball 20 cannot win the right big prize opening 30a. However, as a result of the “winning” lottery when the ball 20 wins the starting winning opening 28a, the right open / close door 38 is opened as a “big hit” game when the “big hit” is won.

  An ordinary prize device 26 is also formed on the base plate 36. The normal winning tool 26 is for constituting a normal winning opening 26a through which the ball 20 flowing down the game area 6b can win. When the ball 20 wins the normal winning opening 26a, a predetermined number of balls 20 are paid out from a prize ball payout device (not shown). Since the normal winning tool 26 is formed on the base plate 36, the right big winning port 30a and the normal winning port 26a can be formed in the game area 6b simply by attaching the right attacker unit 30 to the game board 6a. The assembly process of the panel unit 6 can be reduced.

  A part of the base plate 36 includes a part that is not plated, and the part serves as a translucent part 36a. The translucent portion 36a is made of a translucent material such as a transparent resin, and can transmit light from the back of the base plate 36 toward the front. Further, a light source substrate 40 is disposed behind the translucent part 36a. A plurality of light sources 40 a are arranged on the light source substrate 40. The light emitted when the light source 40a is turned on passes through the translucent part 36a and reaches the player in front of the pachinko machine 2. Lighting / extinguishing of the light source 40a is controlled by a game control board (not shown), and a light-emitting effect is repeatedly performed in accordance with the gaming state. With this light-emitting effect, it is possible to improve the decorativeness and interest of the pachinko machine 2.

  The front cover 42 is disposed in front of the right big prize opening 30 a and is attached to the base plate 36. The front cover 42 includes an auxiliary plate 44, a first leg portion (adjustment portion) 46, and a second leg portion 48.

  The auxiliary plate 44 is integrally formed with the first leg portion 46 and the second leg portion 48. The auxiliary plate 44 is attached to the base plate 36 by fixing the first leg portion 46 and the second leg portion 48 to the base plate 36 with screws. Also, the first leg 46 and the second leg 48 are arranged between the base plate 36 and the auxiliary plate 44 to serve as a spacer, and the right big prize opening 30a is spaced at an interval that allows one ball to flow down. An auxiliary plate 44 is arranged in front of the head.

  The upper side 44a of the auxiliary plate 44 is inclined toward the game board 6a, and when the ball 20 flowing down slightly ahead of the right big prize opening 30a collides with the inclination, the direction of the right big prize opening 30a (that is, It is guided to the back.) In the opened state of the right opening / closing door 38, a gap X is formed between the front glass 10 and the tip of the right opening / closing door 38 (see also FIG. 4B). If the ball 20 is caught in the gap X, ball clogging occurs, which causes a big problem such as game interruption. However, the auxiliary plate 44 guides the ball 20 in the direction of the right big prize opening 30a to assist the smooth winning of the ball 20 into the right big prize opening 30a. It is possible to prevent the ball 20 from being clogged in between.

  The first leg portion 46 is formed with an inclined surface 46a. The 1st leg part 46 has a function which adjusts the winning rate of the ball | bowl 20 to the right big winning opening 30a with this inclined surface. The inclined surface 46a is inclined downward in a direction away from the right big prize opening 30a to the left. A part of the sphere 20 flowing down toward the right big prize opening 30a comes into contact with the inclined surface 46a and rolls on the inclined surface 46a (see FIG. 5A), or hits the inclined surface 46a and rebounds. Then, it is guided in the direction away from the right big prize opening 30a to the left side, and the prize to the right big prize opening 30a is blocked. In this way, the flow direction of the sphere 20 flowing down toward the right big prize opening 30a is changed by the inclined surface 46a, and in some cases, the prize winning to the right big prize opening 30a is obstructed, and in some cases the right big prize winning opening. By winning 30a, the winning rate of the ball 20 to the right big prize opening 30a is adjusted.

  Conventionally, a nail is driven into the upper left corner of the right big prize opening 30a to adjust the winning percentage of the ball 20 to the right big prize opening 30a, but the first leg portion 46 can adjust the winning percentage. The nail for adjusting the winning rate is not necessary. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, the region where the nail for adjusting the winning rate has been driven can be covered with the base plate 36 of the resin member, which is difficult to drive the nail. Therefore, the base plate 36 can be formed larger to further improve the decorativeness by plating or the like and the interest by the light emission effect. Furthermore, since the base plate 36 is formed large, the translucent part 36a can also be formed large, and it is possible to further improve the decorativeness and the interest by the light emission effect.

  Further, if the nail for adjusting the winning rate is hit with a hammer or the like, the standing angle can be changed, but in this embodiment, the auxiliary plate 44 and the first leg portion 46 are integrally formed. Therefore, the inclination angle of the inclined surface 46a for adjusting the winning rate cannot be easily changed. Therefore, the gaming machine hole intentionally changes the inclination angle of the inclined surface 46a to lower the winning rate, or the player changes the inclination angle of the inclined surface 46a with an unauthorized intention to increase the winning rate. Can be prevented.

  Since the right attacker unit 30 is arranged at a position deviated to the right side from the center of the game area 6b, there are few balls 20 flowing down from the right side of the right big prize opening 30a toward the right big prize opening 30a. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the right second leg portion 48 does not have a function of adjusting the winning rate to the right big winning opening 30a, and is mainly used when fixing the front cover 42 to the base plate 36 with screws. It functions as a fixed base.

  In the present embodiment, the lower attacker unit 31 is also disposed below the start winning opening 28a, and a lower large winning opening 50a having a lower opening / closing door 54 that can be opened and closed in front and rear is formed. The lower opening / closing door 54 is normally closed during the game, and the ball 20 cannot win the lower large winning opening 50a. As a result of the “winning” lottery when the ball 20 wins at the start winning opening 28a, the lower opening / closing door 54 is displayed as a “small hit” game when the “small hit” (a type of “winning” game) is won. The ball 20 can be won in the lower university winning opening 50a.

  In the present embodiment, the sphere 20 flowing down the left side of the image display device 32 is likely to flow down toward the lower prize winning port 50a, and the sphere 20 flowing down the right side of the image display device 32 is directed toward the right prize winning port 30a. It is easy to flow down. Therefore, in order to win more balls 20, the player adjusts the firing strength of the balls 20 toward the game area 6 b according to the type of “hit” by operating a launch handle described later. (Hereinafter, a game that launches the ball 20 with the strength to flow down the left side of the image display device 32 is called “left-handed game”, and a game that launches the ball 20 with the strength to flow down the right side of the image display device 32 is “right-handed”. It is called "game".)

  The out port 34 is an opening formed in the vicinity of the lowermost center of the game area 6b, and is used to allow the ball 20 flowing down to the lowermost end of the game area 6b to flow in. The ball 20 that has flowed into the out port 34 is discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 2.

  When the ball 20 is fired toward the upper part in the game area 6b by a launch unit described later, the ball 20 collides with the gauge and flows down in the game area 6b while changing its flow direction. In the middle of the flow, a certain thing wins the regular winning opening 26a to trigger the payout of a ball, a certain thing wins the starting winning opening 28a to become a "winning" lottery, The winning openings 26a, 28a, 30a, 50a are not won, and are discharged from the out opening 34 to the outside of the pachinko machine 2.

  The image display device 32 is for displaying an image including a design for fluctuation and its background design. In the present embodiment, the image display device 32 is constituted by a liquid crystal display device. Is displayed with a three-digit number, which is a symbol for variation.

  The image display device 32 has a function of notifying the player of the result of the “winning” lottery. When the ball 20 wins the start winning opening 28a and the “winning” lottery is performed, the three-digit number displayed on the image display device 32 starts to fluctuate and is stopped and displayed after a predetermined time has elapsed. If the result of the lottery is “big hit”, the stop display is “big hit” (in this embodiment, “7, 7”). If “small hit”, the stop display is “small hit”. (In this embodiment, “3, 3, 3”), and if there is no hit (that is, “out”), the stop display is “7, 7, 7”, “3, 3, 3”. The player is informed of the result of the lottery as something other than the “” mode (hereinafter referred to as the “out” mode). A series of flow from the start to the stop of the symbol variation constitutes a part of the game effect for informing the player of the result of the “winning” lottery.

  In the “big hit” game, the right door 38 is opened and closed 15 times, and in the “small hit” game, the lower door 54 is opened and closed eight times. Therefore, the “big hit” game has more opportunities to win the ball 20 in the right big prize opening 30a, and more prize balls can be obtained.

  The front glass 10 is a transparent plate that is spaced apart from the game board unit 6 by a certain distance or more. The front glass 10 is formed of a transparent flat glass and has a function of forming a flow-down space where the ball 20 flows down between the game board unit 6 and a visibility so that the player can visually recognize the game area 6b through the front glass 10. A function to prevent unauthorized access so that the player cannot illegally access (contact) the game area 6b.

  Of course, a resin material such as transparent acrylic may be used as the front transparent plate in addition to the front glass 10 made of glass. In the present embodiment, the front glass 10 is held by the decorative frame 12, but the front glass 10 is attached to the front surface of the game board unit 6 and is held by the machine frame 8 together with the game board unit 6. It may be configured.

  The decorative frame 12 is a frame body that is swingably supported so as to be openable and closable with respect to the housing frame 4. In the present embodiment, the decorative frame 12 is swingably supported together with the machine frame 8 at the hinge portion 18.

  The upper plate 14 is for storing the ball 20 so as to guide it to the launching unit, and has a function of storing the player's ball together with the lower plate 15. The upper plate 14 is arranged on the front surface of the pachinko machine 2 and below the game board unit 6, that is, below the decorative frame 12, and the lower plate 15 is arranged further below the upper plate 14. In the present embodiment, the upper plate 14 and the lower plate 15 are configured separately, but of course, the upper plate 14 and the lower plate 15 may be integrated to form one ball plate.

  The upper plate 14 has a function of receiving a ball 20 paid out from the pachinko machine 2 as a giveaway ball, and a function of storing the ball 20 so as to guide the ball 20 to a launch unit via a ball supply device (so-called rectifier, not shown). have. When the player finishes the game, the ball 20 can be discharged to the lower plate 15 by the ball discharge button 14b.

  The firing unit is for firing (bulleting) the ball 20 sent from the upper plate 14 to the firing position by the ball supply device toward the upper part of the game area 6b. The launch unit includes, for example, a launcher that shoots the ball 20 at the launch position, a launch motor that drives the launcher, a launch spring that urges the launcher to generate a force for the bullet, and the like. It is constructed and attached to the machine casing 8. For launching the ball by the launch unit, a launch handle 56 that realizes on / off of the launch of the ball and adjustment of the launch intensity based on the player's operation is provided below the front surface of the pachinko machine 2, but the details are omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the auxiliary plate 44 and the first leg portion 46 and the second leg portion 48 are integrally formed, but they may be formed separately. Further, the first leg portion 46 has a function as an adjustment portion having the inclined surface 46a and a function as an attachment base for attaching the auxiliary plate 44 to the base plate 36. These functions are separately provided. This member may be provided.

  Only the first leg portion 46 has a function as an adjusting portion for adjusting the winning rate of the ball 20 to the right big winning opening 30a, but the second leg portion 48 is also formed with an inclined surface to the right. You may provide the function which adjusts the winning rate of the ball | bowl 20 to the big winning opening 30a. Since nails for adjusting the winning rate by blocking the winning of a part of the ball 20 flowing down from the right side toward the right grand opening are unnecessary, the base plate is formed larger to further improve the decorativeness. It is possible to improve interest.
